Israel has opened the Erez border crossing to increase the entry of humanitarian aid to Gaza
Israel has opened the Erez Border Crossing to increase the entry of humanitarian aid to Gaza. Steps have been taken to ensure the unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid.
Following the events of October 7, Israel opened the Erez Border Crossing to increase the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip. During a period of 208 days of ongoing attacks on the Gaza Strip, the opening of the Erez Border Crossing is considered an important step.
The opening of the Erez Border Crossing will facilitate access to humanitarian aid for hundreds of thousands of civilians living in the north of Gaza. This long-awaited step by international aid organizations has raised hopes for meeting the basic needs of the people in Gaza.
The opening took place during the visit of US Secretary of State Antony Blinken to Israel. Colonel Moshe Tetro, head of Israel’s Gaza Coordination and Liaison Administration, stated that the crossing would be open every day and expressed hope that it would help achieve the goal of reaching Gaza with 500 aid trucks daily.
